[1], [2]. Among students who initiallyentered science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields, research found that 48percent of students had left within the six-year period of study [3]. To remain competitive in theglobal economy, the US must meet the increasing demand of STEM jobs [4]. The majority ofSTEM jobs are filled by white males and if minoritized populations were represented similarlywith regards to initial interest, the shortage of STEM talent supply would be satiated [5]. Within engineering, this gap furthers economic inequality and hinders our ability to meetindustry demand for diverse engineering talent [6].

Instruction for K-12 Engineering (Work in Progress)IntroductionEfforts to diversify the engineering workforce are informed by the fact that engineeringcontinues to remain a White, male-dominated profession [1]. Underrepresented students leavescience, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) programs in middle school, highschool, and in undergraduate programs [2]-[4] at a disproportionate rate compared to their Whitemale colleagues.In order to broaden participation and provide equitable engineering education forunderrepresented students, better approaches are necessary to support these students’ pathwaystoward STEM careers. One approach for encouraging diverse participation in engineering isthrough disciplinary literacy instruction (DLI

, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields. One way toincrease the pool of students seeking engineering degrees is to reach out to those who are lessinclined to choose an engineering degree program. Many high school students have no exposureto engineers or to the engineering profession. Additionally, some students might beuncomfortable with the academic challenges a university engineering degree could pose and arealso unaware of the opportunities an engineering degree could provide. Many of these highschool students lack the self-efficacy or an intrinsic belief that they have “what it takes” tosucceed in engineering.ENGR 102 HS is a dual credit, University of Arizona (UA) introduction to engineering coursethat is taught by high school

visions of change, such as diversity goalsand strategic plans that seldom address the institutionalized racism that plagues theexperiences of Black students. (Dumas & Ross, 2016; Baber, 2015). The attempt to supportBlackness while neglecting the racialized experiences of Black students at the hands of Whitesupremacy is a phenomenon scholars have found to be commonplace among PWIs. As PWIsbegan establishing themselves as educational and research powerhouses, White malesupremacy was the grounding ideology for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) education (Slaton, 2010). Scientific racism in the 1800s and 1900s was a product ofperceptions and beliefs about the inferiority of Black people (Roberts, 2011). These beliefspermeate

methodological, technological, and objective [74]. It is a field thathas been mostly established by White men who have decided what is engineering and who getsto participate [74]. There is also no recognition to different epistemologies and solutions toengineering problems, and designs are thought to be race and gender free [59]. In the UnitedStates, engineering has seldom been framed as a social justice profession and, as Cech hasargued [75], ideologies of depoliticization and meritocracy held by many engineers make itextremely difficult to frame the profession in such a way. Instead, engineering is framed aspurely objective, meritocratic, and composed of rigorously-constrained problem solving [75].While “improving society” is part of many definitions
